Breitbart: Chicago is considering naming a street after Oscar Lopez Rivera, the domestic terrorist who founded the FALN terror group responsible for killing six people and perpetrating some 130 bombings and terror attacks on U.S. soil between 1974 and 1983.
Twenty-sixth Ward Alderman Robert Maldonado submitted a proposal to name a three-block stretch of North Luis Munoz Marin Drive after the convicted terrorist early in February. The proposal was quickly pushed through ahead of new rules that would prevent people who are still living from having a Chicago street named after them.
Alderman Maldonado attempted to claim that the new street name is not meant to honor the FALN terror outfit but is only meant to honor Rivera. Others note that it is farcical to claim you are honoring a man whose only claim to fame is in starting a terror group while pretending you are not also honoring the terror group.
Joe Connor, the son of a man killed by a FALN terror attack in 1975, was furious at the move to honor his father’s murderer, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
“He is a sworn terrorist,” Connor said. “He was convicted of bombings in Chicago that did injure people. He tried to escape from prison with machine guns and plastic explosives where he was gonna kill the guards. … And Chicago is gonna put up a sign in his honor?”
Mr president. We’re gonna need another wall. This one might more closely resemble the purpose of the Berlin Wall. Keep chicagoans in.
Will it cross Che Ave. or Farrakhan Blvd.?
See? Just because we call Drunpf Hitler, doesn’t mean we think he’s a Nazi!
But you better not display the confederate flag anywhere.
The street mentioned is’nt a real street but located inside Humbolt Park. The Humbolt park area is an entrenched Puerto Rican enclave that is home to many FALN type radicals. Developers have been trying to gentrify the area for years with little success since it’s in a prime part of the city. Any “urban pioneers” who settle there don’t last long as the locals let them know in no uncertain terms that they are not welcome. Reverse rasicm at it’s finest.
Threadjacking a little but it falls under the general category of liberal lunacy.
Just got breaking news from Richmond Times Dispatch that a local professor was cut up with a box cutter wielding female student. First comment under article? Oh great, now the NRA is going to recommend that professors carry sidearms.
Lololol. These people are insane robots.
Sorry. Thanks for indulging me.
More people of Chicago are being shot than there are people being shot in Baghdad during Ramadan and the city council are playing games with naming a road in a park after a FALN terrorist? Talk about a city that is broken.
How do you reformat a city?
I bet Bill Ayers is in full support, and a little envious.
Land of Lincoln…
*Lincoln* Mobster Crime Syndicates with Terrorists.
It was a Chicagoan that executed a Virginia state trooper at the Richmond Virginia greyhound station a year ago. Point blank range. Officers crime? Basically saying hello and wishing to engage perp in conversation.
if they put it up–hack-saw it down over and over until they get the message….
If the demons of stupidity exited Chicago, There would be no mayor, city council, ward committeemen or Police leadership.
Chicago would no longer be the most corrupt metropolitan City in the United States.
